Dinosaur Week: Nothing Stays Extinct Forever

Why do dinosaurs roar? Because they're better than you.

By Hilasaurus Rex

The first dinosaur ever described by a scientist was Megalosaurus in 1824. Mega, meaning "awesome" in Latin, and losaurus of course meaning "dinosaur." This Awesome Dinosaur sparked a fervent and ongoing fascination with things that had been dead for millennia. Our love of dinos can be seen in TV shows, movies, comic books and video games.

We love dinosaurs at IGN, because dinosaurs are f@&%ing rad. They're way cooler than sharks, who just swim in the water, waiting to eat skinny dippers. IGN respects and admires these incredible beasts so much, we're dedicating a week to them.
